Garland,
Good Question. I have RTJ's book somewhere, but don't recall him ever specifiying what he did. Probably, we have to assume that his work speaks the loudest as to what he thought worked.
I think it might change a little now. For example, do subtle chipping areas make pars harder when you miss but bogeys easier for the average guy because while he might not chip well, he is not likely to leave three chip shots short vs leave 3 in the bunker?
RTJ didn't do a lot of non-receptive greens, but did tend to subdivide them cleverly into many sections. Getting on and close is hard, but getting on a big green with a difficult long putt means a probable bogey.
He guarded most LZ well, but if you were short of them, there were few hazards, so if you were a short hitter, you played short of those, short of the green, wedged on and two putted for bogey, whereas the strong player dealt with numerous hazards all the way around while trying to make standard par.
